Summary

  • classify parser and lexer rule calls whose follow-state closure can only reach
    the enclosing rule stop through plain epsilon transitions
  • avoid allocating redundant prediction-context return nodes while preserving
    conservative SLL behavior by default
  • omit equivalent tail-call frames when interning the committed parser's full
    caller context
  • encode parser tail-call markers in packed ATN format 3 and advance the
    generated-code API to revision 14 while retaining revisions 12 and 13
  • regenerate the checked-in ANTLRv4, Rust, TOML, and XPath recognizers

Compatibility

Packed parser ATN formats 1 and 2 remain readable. Revision-12 and revision-13
generated recognizers continue to compile because the runtime retains every API
surface and metadata format they require.

Generated static parser tables keep allocation-free structural validation.
Owned/deserialized streams still recompute every derived tail-call marker, so
the builder proves generated format-3 data before it is rendered.

The less-accurate SLL policy is explicit through
ParserAtnSimulator::new_with_tail_call_preserves_sll(..., false) (and its
shared-cache counterpart). Conservative and compact modes use separate shared
DFA stores. Full-context prediction always retains contexts containing an empty
path, and reduced SLL records outer-context completion only after the elided
callee actually reaches its stop state.

When parameterized predicates enable semantic rule-call provenance tracking,
the parser retains marked return frames so context pops and provenance pops
remain one-to-one.

Checked-in artifact effect

  • ANTLRv4 parser: 60 of 135 rule calls marked as tail calls
  • Rust parser: 255 of 762 rule calls marked as tail calls
  • TOML parser: 20 of 45 rule calls marked as tail calls
  • Rust lexer DFA: 39,078 -> 37,983 words (-2.8%)
  • TOML lexer DFA: 20,364 -> 19,512 words (-4.2%)
  • ANTLRv4 and XPath lexer DFA payloads remain unchanged; XPath was regenerated
    and still derives its one applicable tail call for ATN fallback paths

No parse-time speedup is claimed without benchmark evidence.

  • cargo run --release --quiet -p antlr-rust-runtime-testsuite --bin antlr4-runtime-testsuite
    • 357 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped

Closes #336

Classify parser and lexer rule calls whose follow-state closure can only reach the enclosing rule stop through plain epsilon edges. Reuse the existing prediction context for those calls while preserving SLL accuracy by default, and omit equivalent frames when building full caller contexts.

Encode parser markers in packed ATN format 3, keep formats 1 and 2 readable, and advance the generated-code API to revision 14 while retaining revisions 12 and 13. Regenerate the checked-in ANTLRv4, Rust, TOML, and XPath recognizers and update compatibility tests and documentation.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@tinovyatkin, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 5 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds tail-call metadata to lexer and parser ATNs, validates packed parser ATN format 3, reuses safe lexer contexts, and adds configurable parser handling. Runtime code-generation compatibility advances to revision 14 while revisions 12 and 13 remain supported.

Changes

Tail-call support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Packed parser ATN format 3 and compatibility
README.md, crates/antlr-rust-runtime/src/atn/parser_atn.rs, crates/antlr-rust-runtime/src/lib.rs, crates/antlr-rust-codegen/tests/antlr4_rust_gen_cli/cli.rs
Parser ATN format 3 encodes and validates rule-transition tail-call markers. Formats 1 and 2 remain readable. Runtime and code generation compatibility supports revisions 12, 13, and 14.
Lexer tail-call classification and context reuse
crates/antlr-rust-runtime/src/atn/mod.rs, crates/antlr-rust-runtime/src/atn/lexer.rs, crates/antlr-rust-runtime/src/lexer.rs, crates/antlr-rust-runtime/src/atn/serialized.rs, crates/antlr-rust-codegen/src/grammar/atn/lexer.rs
Lexer ATN construction and deserialization classify conservative tail calls. Lexer closure handling reuses caller contexts without empty paths and retains return frames when required.
Parser prediction policies and tail-call contexts
crates/antlr-rust-runtime/src/atn/parser.rs, crates/antlr-rust-runtime/src/parser.rs
Parser simulators support conservative and reduced-accuracy tail-call policies with separate shared DFA stores. Prediction-context return-state collection skips provable tail-call frames. Tests cover context handling and cache separation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3bb83

This change can incorrectly alter parser prediction for merged contexts that still contain an empty return path, potentially producing incorrect parsing under the conservative SLL policy. The PR is not merge-ready until the guard is corrected and covered by a regression test.

- Around line 2252-2262: Update the conservative tail-call guard in the parser
transition logic to use contexts.has_empty_path(config.context) instead of
contexts.is_empty(config.context), so merged contexts containing an empty path
retain the return frame; leave the reduced-accuracy branch unchanged. Add a case
to marked_tail_calls_reuse_contexts_under_the_selected_sll_policy covering a
merged context with an empty path and assert that conservative mode preserves
the return frame.

Keep prediction return contexts one-to-one with semantic rule-call provenance when parameterized predicates enable call tracking. Otherwise a tail-elided nested call can jump over its caller stop and leave a stale active rule in later predicate evaluation.

Add a closure-level regression that reproduces the stale provenance and verifies predicates reached after both returns inherit no tail-called rule path.

Generated by mehen v1.8.1 — the code quality watcher.

Reuse traversal marks, work, and successor buffers across rule-transition classification instead of allocating them for every candidate. Document that lexer markers must be recomputed after graph mutation.

Pin the fork-compatible empty-local-context behavior: SLL wildcard merges collapse empty paths to the local empty context, while full-context arrays with an empty path remain eligible for tail-call elimination.

Use allocation-free structural tail-call flag validation for trusted generator-emitted static tables, preserving ParserAtn::from_static's initialization contract. Continue recomputing every derived marker for owned/deserialized streams, including the builder path that proves generated data before rendering.

Exercise the static path with a format-3 ATN containing a marked rule transition while retaining full derived-marker corruption tests through from_owned.

Retain return frames for every full-context path containing an empty branch; only explicit reduced-accuracy SLL may elide those contexts. This keeps full-context alternatives converged at their enclosing rule state.

Do not mark reduced-SLL tail calls as reaching outer context at call entry. Let closure set that marker only after the callee reaches its stop, preventing a mismatching callee from becoming a false accepting alternative. Add regressions for both cases.
